Livin' the life

Ready, Set,

Go!

They did not get very far

What a wonderful day! The skies were perfect and the grass lush and green. We are grateful and thankful to my dad for letting us live with him and keep our animals on his property, but living in the sand dunes (Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge and Sand Dunes State Forest) is not a great place for livestock. This is a perfect time for the move. We expect to start lambing in June and the grass and the exercise will make this easier. Athelas is also due soon and the exercise will hopefully make her labor easier. Chuck did put some hay in the pasture for them for fiber, I wont go into details but going from dry grass to rich green grass does provide for some liquid fertilizer.
